Accountancy Jobs

A job as an dallas accountant can mean far more than simple money-counting. Below are some examples of vacancies that a qualified Accountant could expect to apply for:

Financial Controller - A financial controller, (also sometimes referred to as a 'Comptroller', Corporate Controller or Cost Controller,) is often responsible for all financial & management reporting within a finance team or department. They aim to maximise the return a company receives on its financial assets by developing and establishing financial policies and procedures, putting relevant controls in place and reporting any problems that arise. dallas accountant

Financial Accountant - Accountants in this role will most often be responsible for all internal and/or group financial reporting, and will be completing the work to very high, accurate standards and to sometimes extremely tight deadlines. They usually report to a Finance Manager, and will be expected to provide VAT and corporation tax advice to the company, as well as calculating a company's contributions to these for monthly, quarterly and annual reports. The role may also entail some budgeting work, and will mostly require the applicant to be a qualified chartered accountant, with knowledge of the use of some specialised computer software.

Assistant Accountant - This position is seen as an entry-level role. It does not usually call on the applicant having much experience, but usually requires that they be studying towards a recognised accountancy or financial qualification. Responsibilities can include preparing monthly Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), as well as monthly statements of overheads within the company in question. An Assistant Accountant may also be responsible for generating sales invoices, as well as having some responsibility for credit control. Many companies offering this sort of position will provide study support, meaning that an applicant can receive 'on the job training' whilst completing their accountancy qualifications. dallas cpa


Fund Accountant - This role can vary, but often involves supervising and operating investment, property, charity or trust funds. Duties most often include tracking the financial performance of the fund in question, (and any underlying holdings,) and preparing financial statements on anything from a monthly to an annual basis to be given to the fund holders. Investigating and analysing other financial information that will affect the fund is also expected, as is the tracking of cash-flow within said fund. Due to the large amounts of money these funds can deal with, employers usually expect applicants to be very well qualified and have some extra knowledge of the field that the fund is based in, (whether it's property, investments etc.) dallas cpa
